On its surface, the Woodward Dream Cruise is a celebration of cars and car culture. But as anyone who has been to the event knows, it's the people—both spectators and participants—that make the day truly unique.

That's why we want to hear from readers who plan to attend the cruise this Aug. 18. If you fit either of the descriptions below, leave a comment at the bottom of this post and we'll be in touch.

Veteran cruisers

Have you experienced both the casual cruising of Woodward's golden era and the hectic madness that is today's Dream Cruise? We'd love to hear your thoughts on the evolution of Woodward car culture.

If you burned rubber back in the day and still keep coming back for more, let us know—we're all ears.

Dream Cruise pilgrims

The Dream Cruise takes place near Detroit, but it's hardly a local event—every year, enthusiasts from around the globe converge on Woodward. Are you making a long-distance automotive pilgrimage next week?

If so, we want to hear your story and get your thoughts both before and after the cruise. Bonus points to anyone making the voyage to Michigan from overseas.

The Woodward Dream Cruise is a celebration of Detroit's golden age and all things automotive, but the event as we know it today was born in 1995. As we prepare for the Woodward Dream Cruise, we'll be looking back at coverage from past years and keeping you up to date on the latest news. Whether you're looking for Dream Cruise photos, a bit of Woodward Dream Cruise history or recommended hotels and restaurants near Woodward, you'll find it all in Autoweek's Woodward Dream Cruise section.
